[VM] IMPORTANT: Bug reporting

Since you know that my time is extremely limited these days, may I ask
people to be a bit more systematic in reporting bugs?  

Please take some time now to read the "Bugs" section of the VM manual and
the link to the Emacs manual which explains how to report bugs.  The
subsection called "Understanding Bug Reporting" of the Emacs manual is
extremely clear and describes what you need to write in reporting bugs.

For an example of a well-constructed bug report, please see this (even
though it is not in the context of VM):

  https://code.google.com/p/autopair/issues/detail?id=49

Please note the level of precision required in reporting the problem.

For reporting VM bug reports, the best method to use is 

  M-x vm-submit-bug-report

That gives me the right level of information needed to understand the
problem. 

Most software developers only accept bug reports via the prescribed method.
In future, I also intend to accept only the bug reports submitted by the
prescribed method and ignore all problems reported on viewmail-info mailing
list.

Cheers,
Uday
